The River Severn is the longest river in the UK. From its source in the Cambrian mountains in mid Wales, it flows down through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire before – after 220 miles – eventually reaching the Bristol Channel.
In this episode of the Bristol History Podcast, Tom meets with with Nicola Haasz, who has dedicated herself to exploring, collating and informing about the many facets of the Severn – including of course Sabrina (Hafren in Welsh), her associated goddess.
Tom and Nicola discuss the origin myths of Sabrina, and the different cultural responses that the Severn has elicited throughout its history.
